This programme will develop solid number sense, including fluency and flexibility with number facts, which will have a lasting impact on future learning for all children. The programme will also involve high quality professional development for teachers.
Mastering Number Focus
The programme will provide teachers in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with resources to teach a daily 10-15 minute session to their pupils. These materials are designed to ensure that pupils develop fluency with, and understanding of, number that is crucial to future success in maths and academic progress more generally.
This professional development model will be delivered by an experienced team from the NCETM, led by the NCETM’s Director of Primary Mathematics, Debbie Morgan and aims to sit alongside schools' continued participation in other Maths Hub mastery-based programmes.
